What's New
Outdoor learning has an opportunity to widen the classroom,
and broaden the range of your life-long learning.
Mathematics is so much more than figures and numbers on a piece of paper. With the pre-school children it is perfectly suitable to work with the language, basic terms, grouping and patterns - outdoors and in games. The book contains a number of exercises that playfully train this. The exercises are adapted to the playground at the pre-school or in the nearest grove. Many of the exercises are also suitable for children in the early school years.

Our ambition with this book is to illustrate playful and joyful examples on how to work in the nature with children in the ages of 2-6. We hope that this book will be an inspiration source to all of you who are on your way outdoors and into the nature with the preschool group.
